Give Me A Home Among The Gumtrees

G Em Am D Am D G G Em Am D I've been around the world a couple of times or maybe more Am D G D I've seen the sights, I've had delights on every foreign shore G Em Am D But when my friends all ask me ‘bout the place that I adore Am D G I tell them right away G Em Am D Give me a home among the gumtrees Am D With lots of plum trees G D A sheep or two, a kangaroo G Em A clothes line out the back Am D Verandah out the front Am D G And an old rocking chair G Em Am D I’ll be standing in the kitchen cooking up a roast Am D G D With Vegemite on toast. Just you and me, a cup of tea G Em Am D And later on, we'll settle down beside the hitching post Am D G And watch the possums play G Em Am D Give me a home among the gumtrees Am D With lots of plum trees G D A sheep or two, a kangaroo G Em A clothes line out the back Am D Verandah out the front Am D G And an old rocking chair C G There's a Safeway on the corner and a Woolworths down the street D G And a new one’s just been opened up where they regulate the heat C G But I'd trade them all tomorrow for a little bush retreat D Where the kookaburras sing G Em Am D Give me a home among the gumtrees Am D With lots of plum trees G D A sheep or two, a kangaroo G Em A clothes line out the back Am D Verandah out the front Am D G And an old rocking chair G Em Am D Am D G D G Em Am D Am D G G Em Am D Some people like their houses built with fences all around Am D G D Others live in mansions and some beneath the ground G Em Am D But me I like the bush you know with lizards running ‘round Am D G And a pumpkin vine out the back G Em Am D Give me a home among the gumtree-ees Am D With lots of plum tree-ees G D A sheep or two, a kangaroo G Em A clothes line out the back Am D Verandah out the front Am D G And an old rocking chair G Em Am D Give me a home among the gumtree-ees Am D With lots of plum tree-ees G D A sheep or two, a kangaroo G Em A clothes line out the back Am D Verandah out the front Am D G And an old rock-ing chair
